But the Indians aren’t too shabby either, and they have the experience of being in the postseason, which helps them through slumps even right now.

Let’s see who gets this reference.

Damned if you do and damned if you don’t…

He knows his club and he did what he thought was right…

Good for him…

Mon, 21 Apr 2014 15:35:24 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=518776#comment-691093Speech be dammed. I think Aaron Loup missing low on pitch after pitch had more to do with the win than any speech. Those pitches weren’t even close. What’s more, they got a strike call on an Axford pitch that WASN’T a strike on Encarnación. That was ball four and a run walked in. Did the ump get that speech, too?

Nah, no speech did this. They were lucky. They nearly gave it all back, too. Bases loaded in the 9th and a really dangerous and patient guy didn’t get a call. Luck. Can’t ride luck all season.

Another day those calls go the way they should or Gibbons sends in Wagner instead of Loup (who needed some more time off, I guess) and its a Beaver Win and no one even talks about a speech.

I think The Indians are in for more speechifying and they won’t be so happy with the results then.
